LOUIS NEMETI-I, OF JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOHN SVALTEK, F JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.

PAPERING-MACHINE.

To all whom tt. may concern.'

Be it known that I, Louis NEME'rH, a subject of the King of Hungary, residing at Johnstown, in the county of Cambria and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Papering-Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a papering machine designed for applying paper to walls, ceilings, and similar surfaces.

The invention has for its primary object to provide a machine with simple and effective means for applying paste or an adhesive material to paper as the same is unrolled by the machine, and applied to a wall.

A further object of the invention is to providea wall-paperingvmachine with novel means for automatically feeding paper from a roll onto a wall and during the feeding movement of the paper, evenly apply paste .to the paper.

I attain the above objects by a paperingmachine having a novel paste reservoir, and

. a novel knife for cutting the paper carried bythe machine after a portion of the paper has been' applied to a wall.

The detail construction of, the machine will be hereinafter considered, and then specifically claimed, and reference will now be had to the drawings forming part of this specification, wherein there is illustrated a preferred embodiment of the invention, but

it is to be understood that the structural elements thereofcan be varied or changed, as to the size, shape and manner of assemblage without departing from the spirit' of the inhandle thereof broken away, illustrating thel use of the'mac'hine in connection withk a' wall.

a T-shaped head 2 and riveted or otherwise Specification of Letters Patent. Patentd Sept 21, 1909, Appiication inea May 7, 1909.

Serial No. 494,554.

secured to this head, as at 3, is a frame 4 arms having the upper .ends thereof contracted, as at G.

7 designates rearwardly extending brackets having the lower ends thereof riveted, or otherwise secured, as at 8, to the inner sides of the arms 5, while the upper endsl of said brackets revolubly support a detachable rollAV of paper 9. i

10 designates a cylindrical paste reservoir having the ends thereof provided with straps 11 to receive the contracted ends (3 of the arms 5. The bottom ofthe reservoir is provided with a longitudinal opening 12 extending from one end thereof to the other, and that portion of the reservoir bordering upon the opening is flanged downwardly, as at 13. Adapted to normallyclose t-he opening 12 isY a strip of resilient material 14, as rubber, carried by a longitudinal bar 15to which are attached two vertical rods 1(3extending upwardly through the reservoir adjacent to the ends thereof. The upper ends of these rods are provided with eyelets 1T and extending into said eyelets is a yoke 1S pivotally mounted in bearings 19, 'carried by the reservoir 10. The yoke 18 intermediate the ends thereof is provided with a rearwardly extending arm 20, to whichi is, attached a cord or cable 21.

22 designates coil springs encircling the rods 16 between the longitudinal bar 15 and the top of the reservoir, these springs normally seating the strip 14, whereby the opening 12 will be normally. closed, but permittinglof the bar 15 being raised by pulling upon the cord or cable 21.

23 designatesfparallel arms secured to the lower ends of the arms 5, the said arms 23 extending forwardly in a yhorizontal plane relative to the reservoir 10 and having the' outer ends thereof provided with sleeves 24. Detachably mounted in the sleeves 24 by nuts 25;are the threaded ends 26 of posts 2i, ysaid posts having the upper ends thereof cennected by a longitudinal plate 28.

29 -designates a brush body extending from one end of the plate to the other, said body supporting bristles 30. The body 29 intermediate the ends thereof is` provided with a follower 31 adapted to follow the bristles 30when applying paper to a ceiling. y

32 designates rearwardly extending braclr'; ets carried by the upper ends of the posts 2l and frevolubly mounted between these brackets is a guide roller 33 for the strip of paper 34 which passes 0E ofthe roll 9 to be applied to the ceiling 35 by bristles 30. The strip of paper 34 after leavinglthe roll 9, passes under a paste i'oller 36 journaled in the brackets 7 beneath the opening 12, whereby paste from the reservoir 10 will be applied to the strip of paper 34. f

3'( designates Va brush carried by the forward side of the reservoir 10, for egually distributing paste upon the strip of paper 34. rlhis brush'r extends from one end of the reservoir to the other and is made of flexible wire 43 connects the rearends of the arms 39 and serves functionally as a knife for cutting the strip of paper 34. To operate the knife frame 38, a cord or cable 44 is attached centrally of said frame and this cord or cable passes upwardly over'sheave 45 ievolu bly supported in a hanger 46 carried by the .edge of tthe brush body 29, r

47 designates a brake-frame pivotally mounted in bearings 48, carried by .the reservoir 10 intermediate the ends thereof.

This brake-frame 47vis normally held iii engagement with the rll of paper 9 by a spring 49 for preventing the 'roll of pa er 9 from freely rotating. Attached to the brakeframe 47 is a cord or cable 50, which. isJ pulled upon tol bind the' frame 47 against the roll of paper 9, Awhile the cord or cable 44 is pulled upon to .operate the knife frame 38 and cut the strip of paper 34.

51 designates a'hinged lid carried by the reservoir 10, said lid closing an opening 52 from the reservoir intermediate the ends thereof, whereby paste or a similar adhesive material 53 can be placed in the reservoir.

An operator, having placed the end of the strip of paper 34 upon the bristles 30 can elevate the machine and cause the end of the strip of paper 34 to adhere to the ceiling at the edge or border thereof, and then by slowly moving the machine toward the opposite edge or border, the paper from the roll 9 can be unwound,.pasted, and smoothly applied to the ceiling. When one strip of paper has been applied, the knife frame 38 can be actuated to cut the strip of paper,

whereby the machine can be lowered 'and placed in condition for applying aiipther strip of paper. l/Vhen the machine cannot be used, in corners or difficult places after the greater portionl of the stripof paper` has been applied,vthe lends of the stripof When the machinelis to be used` foi* applying paper to walls, the posts 27 are removed from the arms 23 and short posts 54 provided having horizontalsleeves 55 to re-` ceive the posts 27 and maintain said posts in a plane parallel with the arms 23, thus positioning the bristles 30 .whereby the machine can be raised or lowered, to' apply" the strip of paper 34 to Vawall 56. n

From the foregoing vdescriptionwtaken in connection with the drawings, it will be observed that I have devised a novel papering machine that can be manipulated -from the Hoor' of a room for applying paper to any part of the walls or ceiling thereof, without the use. of step-ladders, scaffolding or the ordinary paraphernalia, such Jas a paste board, generally used by paper-hangers.
